Yeah, I guess Tele's can be "way surf" especially if ya slap a bigsby and heavy
srtings on one. To put a break in an otherwise trad-Strat-reverb surf set, I
threw on a Telecaster at surf gig a couple of weeks ago. I didn't want it to
sound like a surf guitar. I took advantage of it's country qualities and applied
them to a couple of surf songs. Mr Moto was played, but low on the reverb and
high on the b-bender country twang. Well, I liked it anyway.

I could be wrong...but, I believe I saw a "vintage" photo
of old Dave Meyers (& the Surftones)...he was playing a
Telecaster back in 62-63...also currently, the hawaiian
slide guitar guy in the Blue Hawaiians also doubles on some
songs playing reverberated rhythm guitar on his Telecaster.
And of course, I play the "Telecaster" P-Bass (1951 RI CIJ
Precision Bass)...
man, Telecasters can be WAY surf!
Not to mention old Steve Cropper...dude... that guy could
play in my surf band any day...
